Continuous ESP Block for Pain After Bypass Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your heart's main pumping ability is good (left ventricular ejection fraction over 50%).
- You do not have moderate or severe heart valve disease.
- You have not had previous open-heart surgery through the front of your chest.
- You are not allergic to the study drugs.

This trial tests whether adding a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) in a back nerve block gives better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve recovery after your operation.
This study compares two different nerve-block injections (one near the spine, one under the shoulder blade) to see which provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for a planned bypass and are in reasonably good health, you might be able to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SPIP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after heart surgery. Participation may help improve how pain is managed after your operation.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (called an ESP block) given before spinal fusion surgery reduces pain and helps you recover faster. If you are having neck or lower back fusion, this could help you manage pain with fewer strong opioids.
